Which form of worship centers on the scriptures as the central element and allows local congregation to determine the order of worship?

• A. Liturgical Worship
• B. Non-liturgical Worship
• C. Chancel
• D. Narthex

Answer: (B)

Non-liturgical worship centers on Scripture as the central element and allows the local congregation to shape the order of worship. The focus is on the Bible, preaching, prayer, and song, with leaders planning the service in a way that responds to the needs of the congregation and the context of that gathering, rather than following a fixed, pre-set sequence to be repeated weekly. This gives the local church flexibility to structure elements like readings, songs, and prayers in a way that best communicates Scripture in that moment.

The other options are not forms of worship. A chancel is the area of a church where the clergy and choir may stand, not a worship style. A narthex is the entrance lobby of a church, also not a form of worship. A liturgical form, by contrast, uses a predefined order and set prayers and rituals established by a tradition.
